Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Tectonic Financial, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a financial holding company that offers, through its subsidiaries, banking and other financial services including trust, investment advisory, securities brokerage, third-party administration, recordkeeping and insurance services to individuals, small businesses and institutions in all 50 states. The Company was formed in October 2016 foracross the purpose of acquiring T Bancshares, Inc. (“TBI”), which acquisition was completed on May 15, 2017.United States.

 

On May 13, 2019, we completed a merger with Tectonic Holdings, LLC (“Tectonic Holdings”), through which we expanded our financial services to include investment advisory, securities brokerage and insurance services (the “Tectonic Merger”). Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 28, 2019, by and between the Company and Tectonic Holdings (the “Tectonic Merger Agreement”), Tectonic Holdings merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving institution. Immediately after the completion of the Tectonic Merger, the Company completed a 1-for-2 reverse stock split with respect to the outstanding shares of its common stock.

The Company consummated the initial public offering of its 9.00% Fixed-to-Float Rate Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series B preferred stock”) in May 2019 (the “initial public offering”). In connection with the initial public offering, the Company issued and sold 1,725,000 shares of its Series B preferred stock, including 225,000 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, at an offering price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $17.25 million before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, and aggregate net proceeds of $15.5 million.

Following the Tectonic Merger, weWe operate through four4 main direct and indirect subsidiaries: (i) TBI,T Bancshares, Inc. (“TBI”), which was incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas on December 23, 2002 to serve as the bank holding company for T Bank, N.A., a national banking association (the “Bank”), (ii) Sanders Morris Harris LLC (“Sanders Morris”), a registered broker-dealer with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and registered investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (“SEC”), (iii) Tectonic Advisors, LLC (“Tectonic Advisors”), a registered investment advisor registered with the SEC focused generally on managing money for relatively large, affiliated institutions, and (iv) HWG Insurance Agency LLC (“HWG”), an insurance agency registered with the Texas Department of Insurance (“TDI”).

 

We are headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The Bank operates through a main office located at 16200 Dallas Parkway, Dallas, Texas. Our other subsidiaries operate from offices in Houston, Dallas and Plano, Texas. Our Houston, Texas office is located at 600 Travis Street, 59th Floor, Houston, Texas, and includes the home offices of Sanders Morris and HWG, as well as Tectonic Advisors’ family office services team. Our other Dallas office, which is a branch office of Sanders Morris, is at 5950 Sherry Lane, Suite 470, Dallas, Texas. Our main office for Tectonic Advisors is in Plano, Texas at 6900 Dallas Parkway, Suite 625, Plano, Texas, and also includes a branch office of HWG.

 

The Bank offers a broad range of commercial and consumer banking and trust services primarily to small- to medium-sized businesses and their employees, and other institutions.institutions, and The Nolan Company (“Nolan”), operating as a division within the Bank, offers third party administration (“TPA”) services. The Bank’s technological capabilities, including worldwide free ATM withdrawals, sophisticated on-line banking capabilities, electronic funds transfer capabilities, and economical remote deposit solutions, allow most customers to be served regardless of their geographic location. The Bank serves its local geographic market which includes Dallas, Tarrant, Denton, Collin and Rockwall counties which encompass an area commonly referred to as the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. The Bank also serves the dental and other health professional industries through a centralized loan and deposit platform that operates out of its main office in Dallas, Texas. In addition, the Bank serves the small business community by offering loans guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”).

 

The Bank offers a wide range of deposit services including demand deposits, regular savings accounts, money market accounts, individual retirement accounts, and certificates of deposit with fixed rates and a range of maturity options. Lending services include commercial loans to small- to medium-sized businesses and professional concerns as well as consumers. The Bank also offers trust services. The Bank’s traditional fiduciary services clients primarily consist of clients of Cain, Watters & Associates, L.L.C.LLC (“Cain Watters”). The Bank, Cain Watters and Tectonic Advisors entered into an advisory services agreement related to the trust operations in April 2006, which has been amended from time to time, most recently in July 2016. See Note 13,12, Related Parties, to these consolidated financial statements for more information.

In January 2019,addition, the Bank acquired the assets of The Nolan Company (“Nolan”), a third-party administrator (“TPA”), based in Overland Park, Kansas. Founded in 1979, Nolan offers TPA services as a division of the Bank offers TPA services and provides clients with retirement plan design and administrative services, specializing in ministerial recordkeeping, administration, actuarial and design services for retirement plans of small businesses and professional practices. Nolan has clients in 50 states and is the administrator for retirement plans. Approximately half of the retirement plans are serviced by our trust department. We believe that the addition ofoffering TPA services allows us to serve our clients more fully and to attract new clients to our trust platform. Please see Note 18, Nolan Acquisition, to these consolidated financial statements for more information.

Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 (this “Form 10-Q”) include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, TBI, the Bank, Tectonic Advisors, Sanders Morris, and through Sanders Morris, HWG. Prior to the Tectonic Merger, Sanders Morris and Tectonic Advisors were wholly owned subsidiaries of Tectonic Holdings, which was under common control with the Company. The Tectonic Merger has been accounted for as a combination of businesses under common control in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control. Under Topic 805, all the assets and liabilities of Tectonic Holdings are carried over to the books of the Company at their then current carrying amounts, and the consolidated financial statements, including our earnings per share calculations, have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the Tectonic Merger. This includes the acquisition of Sanders Morris, HWG and Tectonic Advisors described below under Note 2, Tectonic Merger and Initial Public Offering of Series B Preferred Stock, for all periods subsequent to May 15, 2017, the earliest date at which the entities were under common control. Therefore, the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019, although the period falls prior to the Tectonic Merger, represents the combination of the results of operations of TFI and Tectonic Holdings. In addition, allsubsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. In addition, the computation of all share and per share amounts in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the reverse stock split, which the Company completed immediately after the completion of the Tectonic Merger.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q adopted by the SEC. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 20192020 in the audited financial statements included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No 001-38910),for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2020 (“2021 and amended on Form 10-K”).10-K/A on May 5, 2021.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments that were normal and recurring in nature, and considered necessary, have been included for the fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020.2021.

 

In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported in China, and, in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic, indicating that almost all public commerce and related business activities must be, to varying degrees, curtailed with the goal

Although the Company’s current estimates are based on management’s evaluation of current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, due to the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on financial markets and the economy both locally and nationally, it is reasonably possible that the COVID-19 pandemic could materially affect these significant estimates and the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. See Part II, Item 1.A. “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q.

The Company is working with customers directly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has been and continues to be prepared to offer short-term assistance in accordance with regulatory guidelines. Should economic conditions worsen, the Company could experience further increases in its required allowance for loan loss and record additional provision for loan loss expense. It is possible that the Company’s asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are prolonged.

In addition, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could cause what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform goodwill and intangible asset impairment tests and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. As of June 30, 2020, we determined that such impairment tests were not necessary.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period, as well as the disclosures provided. Actual results could be significantly different from those estimates. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. The determination of the allowance for loan losses, the fair value of stock options, the fair values of financial instruments and other real estate owned, and the status of contingencies are particularly susceptible to significant change in recorded amounts.

Accounting Changes, Reclassifications and Restatements. Certain items in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each year. The computation of all share and per share amounts in this Form 10-Q have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the reverse stock split. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted-average shares and all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the following periods:

Note 2. Tectonic Merger and Initial Public Offering of Series B Preferred Stock

Merger with Tectonic Holdings

On May 13, 2019, the Company completed the Tectonic Merger pursuant to the Tectonic Merger Agreement. In the Tectonic Merger, each common unit of Tectonic Holdings outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Tectonic Merger was converted into one share of Company common stock, and each option to purchase one Tectonic Holdings common unit was converted into an option to purchase one share of Company common stock. Immediately after the completion of the Tectonic Merger, the Company completed a 1-for-2 reverse stock split, which left 6,568,750 common shares issued and outstanding as of May 14, 2019. The computation of all share and per share amounts in this Form 10-Q have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the reverse stock split.

As a condition precedent to the Tectonic Merger, immediately prior to the merger, approximately $8.0 million of Tectonic Advisors subordinated debt held by Dental Community Financial Holdings, Ltd. (“DCFH”), an entity that has as its general partner a corporation owned by one of the directors of the Company, was converted into 80,338 non-cumulative, perpetual preferred units of Tectonic Holdings (“Tectonic Holdings preferred units”).

In the Tectonic Merger, each Tectonic Holdings preferred unit was converted into one share of 10.0% Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock of the Company (“Series A preferred stock”). The Series A preferred stock ranks senior to our common stock and pari passu to the Series B preferred stock (as defined below) issued in our initial public offering as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution and/or winding up. Dividends will be paid on the Series A preferred stock only when, as and if declared by our board of directors at a rate of 10% per annum (payable quarterly). The Series A preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $100 per share. In addition, the Series A preferred stock is not convertible into any other security of the Company. The Series A preferred stock is redeemable at the option of the Company at any time after the fifth anniversary of the original issue date at a redemption price equal to the liquidation preference, plus any declared but unpaid dividends, subject to the requisite approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (“Federal Reserve”), if any. The definitive terms of the Series A preferred stock are subject to the certificate of designation filed with our amended and restated certificate of formation. 

On July 12, 2019, the Company repurchased 80,338 shares of its Series A preferred stock, representing all of the outstanding shares of the Series A preferred stock, from DCFH for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8.0 million. The repurchase was funded using a portion of the net proceeds from the initial public offering.

The Tectonic Merger has been accounted for as a combination of businesses under common control in accordance with Topic 805. Under Topic 805, all the assets and liabilities of Tectonic Holdings are carried over to the books of the Company at their then current carrying amounts. In addition, the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the merger with Tectonic Holdings, including the issuance of the Series A preferred stock in exchange for the Tectonic Holdings preferred units, for all prior periods during which the entities were under common control. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.Securities

On March 27,During the second quarter of 2020, the Company began participating in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) which was established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed by the President of the United States, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP isand administered by the SBA with support from the Department of the Treasury.SBA. The PPP is a federally-guaranteed, low-interest rate loan program that is designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep workers on the payroll. Businesses may use PPP loan funds to pay up to twenty-four weeks of payroll costs as well as to cover other eligible business expenses. PPP loans may be partially or fully forgiven by the SBA if the funds are used for eligible expenses during the relevant forgiveness period and the borrower meets the employee retention criteria. PPP loans will carry an interest rate of 1.00% to be paid either by the SBA in the event of forgiveness or by the borrower for the term of the loan, which may be two or five years. PPP loans that the SBA approved on or after June 5, 2020 will have a maturity date of five years. Payments for PPP loans are deferred until the SBA issues a forgiveness decision or ten months after the end of the forgiveness period if the borrower fails to apply for forgiveness. Included in SBA 7(a) guaranteed loans at June 30, 2020, were $98.3 million of loans originated in the PPP. As mentioned above, the PPP loans may be forgiven by the SBA and are 100 percent guaranteed by the SBA. Therefore, no allowance for loan losses is allocated to PPP loans. Included in SBA 7(a) guaranteed loans at June 30, 2021, were $86.3 million of loans originated under the PPP.

 

As of June 30, 2020,2021, our loan portfolio included $72.4$70.7 million of loans, approximately 18.3%17.2% of our total funded loans and 24.4%(21.8% of total funded loans, net of the SBA PPP loans of $98.3 million,loans) to the dental industry.industry, as compared to $67.2 million of loans, or 16.8% of total funded loans (21.1% of total funded loans, net of PPP loans), at December 31, 2020. The Bank believes that these loans are to credit worthy borrowers and are diversified geographically. 

 

The Company serves the small business community by offering loans promulgated under the SBA’s 7(a) and 504 loan programs, and loans guaranteed by the USDA. SBA 7(a) and USDA loans are typically guaranteed by each agency in amounts ranging from 75% to 80% of the principal balance. For SBA construction loans, the Company records the guaranteed funded portion of the loans as held for sale. When the SBA loans are fully funded, the Company may sell the guaranteed portion into the secondary market, on a servicing-retained basis, or reclassify from loans held for sale to loans held for investment if the Company determines that holding these loans provide better long-term risk adjusted returns than selling the loans. In calculating gain on the sale of loans, the Company performs an allocation based on the relative fair values of the sold portion and retained portion of the loan. The Company’s assumptions are validated by reference to external market information.

The Company had $11.6$21.1 million and $9.9$14.9 million of non-PPP SBA loans held for sale as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, the Company sold $6.2$1.1 million of non-PPP SBA loans, resulting in a gain on sale of loans of $432,000. The Company did not sell any loans during$101,000. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The2021, the Company elected to reclassify $5.8$6.2 million and $7.5$15.1 million, respectively, of the SBA 7(a) loans held for sale to loans held for investment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.investment.

Loan Origination/Risk Management.

 

The Company maintains written loan origination policies, procedures, and processes which address credit quality at several levels including individual loan level, loan type, and loan portfolio levels.

 

Commercial and industrial loans, which are predominantly loans to dentists, are underwritten based on historical and projected income of the business and individual borrowers and guarantors. The Company utilizes a comprehensive global debt service coverage analysis to determine debt service coverage ratios. This analysis compares global cash flow of the borrowers and guarantors on an individual credit to existing and proposed debt after consideration of personal and business related other expenses. Collateral is generally a lien on all available assets of the business borrower including intangible assets. Credit worthiness of individual borrowers and guarantors is established through the use of credit reports and credit scores.

 

Consumer loans are evaluated on the basis of credit worthiness as established through the use of credit reports and credit scores. Additional credit quality indicators include borrower debt to income ratios based on verifiable income sources.

 

Real estate mortgage loans are evaluated based on collateral value as well as global debt service coverage ratios based on historical and projected income from all related sources including the collateral property, the borrower, and all guarantors where applicable.

 

The Company originates SBA loans which are sometimes sold into the secondary market. The Company continues to service these loans after sale and is required under the SBA programs to retain specified amounts. The two2 primary SBA loan programs that the Company offers are the basic SBA 7(a) loan guaranty program and the SBA 504 loan program in conjunction with junior lien financing from a Certified Development Company (“CDC”). The SBA has designated the Bank as a “Preferred Lender.” As an SBA Preferred Lender, the Bank has been delegated loan approval, closing and most servicing and liquidation authority from the SBA.

 

The SBA 7(a) program serves as the SBA’s primary business loan program to help qualified small businesses obtain financing when they might not be eligible for business loans through normal lending channels. Loan proceeds under this program can be used for most business purposes including working capital, machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, land and building (including purchase, renovation and new construction), leasehold improvements and debt refinancing. Loan maturity is generally up to 10 years for non-real estate collateral and up to 25 years for real estate collateral. The SBA 7(a) loan is approved and funded by a qualified lender, partially guaranteed by the SBA and subject to applicable regulations. In general, the SBA guarantees up to 75% (100% for PPP loans) of the loan amount depending on loan size. The Company is required by the SBA to service the loan and retain a contractual minimum of 5% on all SBA 7(a) loans, but generally retains 25% (the unguaranteed portion). The servicing spread is 1% of the guaranteed portion of the loan that is sold in the secondary market. Included in the SBA 7(a) loans reflected in this Form 10-Q are the PPP loans originated by the Company for the three months endedand outstanding as of June 30, 2020.2021.

 

The SBA 504 program is an economic development-financing program providing long-term, low down payment loans to businesses. Typically, a 504 project includes a loan secured from a private-sector lender with a senior lien, a loan secured from a CDC (funded by a 100% SBA-guaranteed debenture) with a junior lien covering up to 40% of the total cost, and a contribution of at least 10% equity from the borrower. Debenture limits are $5.0 million for regular 504 loans and $5.5 million for those 504 loans that meet a public policy goal.

 

The SBA has designated the Bank as a “Preferred Lender”. As a Preferred Lender, the Bank has been delegated loan approval, closing and most servicing and liquidation authority from the SBA.

The Company also offers Business & Industry (“B&I”) program loans through the USDA. These loans are similar to the SBA product, except they are guaranteed by the USDA. The guaranteed amount is generally 80%. B&I loans are made to businesses in designated rural areas and are generally larger loans to larger businesses than the SBA 7(a) loans. Similar to the SBA 7(a) product, they can be sold into the secondary market. These loans can be utilized for rural commercial real estate and equipment. The loans can have maturities up to 30 years and the rates can be fixed or variable.

 

Construction and land development loans are evaluated based on the borrower’s and guarantor’s credit worthiness, past experience in the industry, track record and experience with the type of project being considered, and other factors. Collateral value is determined generally by independent appraisal utilizing multiple approaches to determine value based on property type.

 

14

For all loan types, the Company establishes guidelines for its underwriting criteria including collateral coverage ratios, global debt service coverage ratios, and maximum amortization or loan maturity terms.

 

At the portfolio level, the Company monitors concentrations of loans based on several criteria including loan type, collateral type, industry, geography, and other factors. The Company also performs periodic market research and economic analysis at a local geographic and national level. Based on this research, the Company may from time to time change the minimum or benchmark underwriting criteria applied to the above loan types.

 

12

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. Loans may be placed on non-accrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. A loan may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future principal and interest amounts contractually due are reasonably assured, which is typically evidenced by a sustained period of repayment performance by the borrower.

The restructuring of a loan is considered a “troubled debt restructuring” if due to the borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company has granted a concession that the Company would not otherwise consider. This may include a transfer of real estate or other assets from the borrower, a modification of loan terms, or a combination of the two. Modification of loan terms may include interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, principal forgiveness, restructuring amortization schedules, reductions in collateral and other actions intended to minimize potential losses.

 

The provisions of the CARES Act include an election to temporarily suspend accounting for troubled debt restructurings in certain circumstances, such as extensions or deferrals, related to the COVID-19 pandemic made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020 or (ii) the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 pandemic declared under the National Emergencies Act terminates. The relief canpandemic. This temporary suspension may only be applied to modifications for borrowersof loans that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. If elected, the temporary suspension may be applied to eligible modifications executed during the period beginning on March 1, 2020 and, as extended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, ending on the earlier of January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the termination of the COVID-19 national emergency. In 2020, federal banking regulators, in consultation with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), issued interagency statements that included similar guidance on their approach for the accounting of loan modifications in light of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic that provide that short-term modifications and additional accommodations made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief are not troubled debt restructurings. The Company elected to adopt these provisions of the CARES Act. AsAt June 30, 2021, there were 2 loans in COVID-19-related deferment with an aggregate outstanding balance of June 30,approximately $3.2 million. At December 31, 2020, there were modifications made to 13911 loans in COVID-19-related deferment with a totalan aggregate outstanding balance of $92.8 million, or 23.7% of the total loan portfolio. The modifications primarily included a delay of principal and/or interest payments for three months. These loans continue to accrue interest and are evaluated for past due status based on the revised payment terms. Under the applicable guidance, none of these loans were considered restructured as of June 30, 2020.approximately $4.3 million.

 

As of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, there were no loans identified as troubled debt restructurings. There were no new troubled debt restructurings during the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 and the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

 

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including internal credit risk based on past experiences as well as external statistics and factors. Loans are graded in one of six categories: (i) pass, (ii) pass-watch, (iii) special mention, (iv) substandard, (v) doubtful, or (vi) loss. Loans graded as loss are charged-off.

 

The classifications of loans reflect a judgment about the risks of default and loss associated with the loan. The Company reviews the ratings on credits quarterly. No significant changes were made to the loan risk grading system definitions and allowance for loan loss methodology during the past year. Ratings are adjusted to reflect the degree of risk and loss that is felt to be inherent in each credit. The Company’s methodology is structured so that specific allocations are increased in accordance with deterioration in credit quality (and a corresponding increase in risk and loss) or decreased in accordance with improvement in credit quality (and a corresponding decrease in risk and loss).

Credits rated pass are acceptable loans, appropriately underwritten, bearing an ordinary risk of loss to the Company. Loans in this category are loans to highly credit worthy borrowers with financial statements presenting a good primary source as well as an adequate secondary source of repayment.

 

Credits rated pass-watch loans have been determined to require enhanced monitoring for potential weaknesses which require further investigation. They have no significant delinquency in the past twelve months. This rating causes the loan to be actively monitored with greater frequency than pass loans and allows appropriate downgrade transition if verifiable adverse events are confirmed. This category may also include loans that have improved in credit quality from special mention but are not yet considered pass loans.

 

Credits rated special mention show clear signs of financial weaknesses or deterioration in credit worthiness; however, such concerns are not so pronounced that the Company generally expects to experience significant loss within the short-term. Such credits typically maintain the ability to perform within standard credit terms and credit exposure is not as prominent as credits rated more harshly.

 

Credits rated substandard are those in which the normal repayment of principal and interest may be, or has been, jeopardized by reason of adverse trends or developments of a financial, managerial, economic or political nature, or important weaknesses exist in collateral. A protracted workout on these credits is a distinct possibility. Prompt corrective action is therefore required to strengthen the Company’s position, and/or to reduce exposure and to assure that adequate remedial measures are taken by the borrower. Credit exposure becomes more likely in such credits and a serious evaluation of the secondary support to the credit is performed. Guaranteed portions of SBA loans graded substandard are generally on non-accrual due to the limited amount of interest covered by the guarantee, usually 60 days maximum. However, there typically will be no exposure to loss on the principal amount of these guaranteed portions of the loan.

 

Credits rated doubtful are those in which full collection of principal appears highly questionable, and which some degree of loss is anticipated, even though the ultimate amount of loss may not yet be certain and/or other factors exist which could affect collection of debt. Based upon available information, positive action by the Company is required to avert or minimize loss.

 

Loans classified loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s internal ratings of its loans as of the dates indicated:

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying balance sheets. The Company'sCompany’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

 

22

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Upon termination of employment of a payee financial advisor, any principal and interest outstanding would have been immediately due and payable. 

The notes receivable, related parties, were fully repaid as of December 31, 2019. Therefore, there was no amount receivable under the notes receivable, related parties as of June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. There was no expense recognized for the three or six months ended June 30, 2020, and the Company recognized $15,000 and $30,000 in compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, in relation to the forgiven notes receivable, including related interest income.

As of June 30, 2020,2021, certain officers, directors and their affiliated companies had depository accounts with the Bank totaling approximately $6.3$5.1 million. None of those deposit accounts have terms more favorable than those available to any other depositor.

 

As of June 30, 2020,2021, the Bank had PPP loans to certain of its directors and their affiliated companies totaling $2.9$2.8 million in the aggregate. These loans were made to the Bank’s directors and their affiliated companies on the same terms as all other loans originated by the Bank under the PPP, established by the CARES Act.PPP. In addition, these loans were approved by the board of directors of the Bank in accordance with the Bank’s regulatory and policy requirements.

 

Note 14.13. Regulatory Matters

 

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s and, accordingly, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under GAAP, regulatory reporting requirements, and regulatory capital standards. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Furthermore, the Bank’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in these financial statements.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulatory capital standards to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital to total risk-weighted assets, and of tier 1 capital to average assets. To be categorized as “well-capitalized” under the prompt corrective action framework, the Bank must maintain (i) a Total risk-based capital ratio of 10%; (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8%; (iii) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5%; and (iv) a CET1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.5%.

In addition, the Basel III regulatory capital reforms (“Basel III”) implemented a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% to be phased in 0.625% each year over a four-year period, becomingthat was fully implemented as of January 1, 2019. The Basel III minimum capital ratio requirements as applicable to the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2019 after the full phase-in periodas of June 30, 2021 are summarized in the table below.

Accordingly, a financial institution may be considered “well capitalized” under the prompt corrective action framework, but not satisfy the fully phased-inbuffered Basel III capital ratios. As of June 30, 2020,2021, the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios are in excess of the capital conservation buffer and the levels established for “well capitalized” institutions under the Basel III Rules.

Dividend Restrictions. Banking regulations may limit the amount of dividends that may be paid. Approval by regulatory authorities is required if the effect of dividends declared (including those on the Series A preferred stock) would cause the regulatory capital of the Bank and/or the Company to fall below specified minimum levels. Approval is also required if dividends declared exceed the net profits for that year combined with the retained net profits for the preceding two years. As of June 30, 2020,2021, approximately $12.7$19.3 million was available for the declaration of dividends by the Bank to the Company without prior approval of regulatory agencies and still maintain its “well capitalized” status. In addition, as a Texas corporation, we are restricted under the Texas Business Organizations Code from paying dividends under certain conditions. Under Texas law, we cannot pay dividends to shareholders if the dividends exceed our surplus or if after giving effect to the dividends, we would be insolvent.

 

In addition to the regulatory requirements of the federal banking agencies, Sanders Morris and Tectonic Advisors are subject to the regulatory framework applicable to registered investment advisors under the SEC’s Division of Investment Management, and additionally, Sanders Morris is regulated by FINRA, which, among other requirements, imposes minimums on its net regulatory capital.

Note 16.15. Fair Value of Financials Instruments

 

The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. FASB ASCAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

 

Level1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or independent asset pricing services and pricing models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections and cash flows. Such securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. The Company has no securities in the Level 1 or Level 3 inputs.

 

The following table summarizes securities available for sale measured at fair value on a recurring basis, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

Market valuations of our investment securities which are classified as level 2 are provided by an independent third party. The fair values are determined by using several sources for valuing fixed income securities. Their techniques include pricing models that vary based on the type of asset being valued and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, the market valuation sources include observable market inputs and are therefore considered Level 2 inputs for purposes of determining the fair values.

 

The Company considers transfers between the levels of the hierarchy to be recognized at the end of related reporting periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, no assets for which fair value is measured on a recurring basis transferred between any levels of the hierarchy.

 

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment).

 

28

Financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the reported periods include impaired loans and loans held for sale.

 

Impaired loans. As of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, there were no impaired loans that were reduced by specific valuation allowances.

 

The significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in the fair value measurement of collateral for collateral-dependent impaired loans primarily relate to the specialized discounting criteria applied to the borrower’s reported amount of collateral. The amount of the collateral discount depends upon the condition and marketability of the collateral, as well as other factors which may affect the collectability of the loan. As the Company’s primary objective in the event of default would be to liquidate the collateral to settle the outstanding balance of the loan, collateral that is less marketable would receive a larger discount. During the reported periods, there were no discounts for collateral-dependent impaired loans.

 

The valuation of our not readily marketable investment securities which are classified as Level 3 are based on the Company’s own assumptions and inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement, and are unobservable.

 

Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the Level 3 fair value measurements in their entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the assets. It is reasonably possible that a change in the estimated fair value for instruments measured using Level 3 inputs could occur in the future.

Loans held for sale. Loans held for sale include the guaranteed portion of SBA and USDA loans and are reported at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Fair value for SBA and USDA loans is based on market indications available in the market. There were no impairments reported for the periods presented.

 

25

Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the reported periods include other real estate owned which, upon initial recognition, was re-measured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses. Additionally, foreclosed assets which, subsequent to their initial recognition, are re-measured at fair value through a write-down included in other non-interest expense. Regulatory guidelines require the Company to reevaluate the fair value of foreclosed assets on at least an annual basis. The fair value of foreclosed assets, upon initial recognition and impairment, are re-measured using Level 2 inputs based on observable market data. Estimated fair value of other real estate is based on appraisals. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management. As of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, there were no foreclosed assets. There were no foreclosed assets re-measured during the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019.2020.

 

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis are described as follows:

 

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, restricted securities, accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable. The estimated fair value of demand and savings deposits is the carrying amount since rates are regularly adjusted to market rates and amounts are payable on demand. For borrowed funds and variable rate loans or deposits that re-price frequently and fully, the estimated fair value is the carrying amount. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent re-pricing, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. For loans held for sale, the estimated fair value is based on market indications for similar assets in the active market. The estimated fair value of other financial instruments and off-balance-sheet loan commitments approximate cost and are not considered significant to this presentation.

 

The Company adds a servicing asset when loans are sold and the servicing is retained, and uses the amortization method for the treatment of the servicing asset. The servicing asset is carried at lower of cost or fair value. Loan servicing assets do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow model having significant inputs of discount rate, prepayment speed and default rate. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company added servicing assets totaling $19,000 in connection with the sale of $1.1 million in loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company added servicing assets totaling $92,000 in connection with the sale of $6.2 million in loans during the three months ended March 31, 2020. There were no sales of loans for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.loans. For the three and six months ended June 30,20, 2020, there was a credit provision of $100,000 to the valuation allowance for servicing assets. There was no0 allowance provision for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The allowance provision for servicing assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $162,000.2021.

 

FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for cash and cash equivalents and accrued interest. The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis are discussed below.

 

29

Securities held to maturity. The securities in this category are Property Assessed Clean Energy investments. These investment contracts or bonds originate under a contractual obligation between the property owners, the local county administration, and a third-party administrator and sponsor. These investments have no readily determinable fair value.

Loans. The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk. The fair value of fixed-rate loans and variable-rate loans which reprice on an infrequent basis is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar loans with similar terms would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality.

 

Deposits. The fair values of demand deposits, savings deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand and, therefore, approximate their carrying amounts. The fair values for time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that utilizes interest rates currently being offered on time deposits with similar contractual maturities.

 

Borrowed Funds.Funds. The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for short-term borrowings. The fair value of long-term fixed-rate borrowings is estimated using quoted market prices, if available, or by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates for similar financial instruments. The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for variable-rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures that reprice quarterly.

 

Loan Commitments, Standby and Commercial Letters of Credit.Credit. Our lending commitments have variable interest rates and “escape” clauses if the customer’s credit quality deteriorates. Therefore, the fair values of these items are not significant and are not included in the following table.

Note 17.16. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

ASU 2016-02Accounting Standards Update (, Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 among other things, requires lessees to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. ASU 2016-2 was effective on January 1, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019, and amounts recorded as right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities were $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019.

ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 became effective for most public companies on January 1, 2020, subject to a company’s election to defer implementation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On July 17, 2019, the FASB proposed to delay the implementation of the current expected credit loss standard (“CECL”) methodology for certain companies including smaller reporting companies (“SRCs”). The Company is a SRC as defined by the SEC. The Company is designated as a SRC withproposed delay of the SEC. The proposed delayimplementation of the CECL methodology by FASB was subject to a comment period. At the October 16, 2019 FASB meeting, the FASB voted unanimously to delay the effective date of CECL adoption for SRCs to January 1, 2023. The Company has developed processes for assessment and documentation, model development and validation. While the Company generally expects that the implementation of ASU 2016-13 and the CECL methodology may increase their allowance for loan losses balance, the adoption will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of the loan portfolio along with the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date.

 

31

ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test which required entities to compute the implied fair value of goodwill. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020, and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in this update remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, modify/clarify the specific requirements of certain disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. ASU 2018-13 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020, and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2019-12, “IncomeIncome Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The guidance issued in this update simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in ASC 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition for deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU 2020-08, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs.” ASU 2020-08 clarifies the accounting for the amortization of purchase premiums for callable debt securities with multiple call dates. ASU 2020-8 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2021 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The assets acquired consisted of furniture, fixtures and equipment with a fair value of $150,000. There were no liabilities acquired, resulting in goodwill of $2.4 million from the acquisition. The goodwillthis small business lending vertical will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment annually. The goodwill recorded is deductible for federal income tax purposes. In addition,provide the Bank entered into a consulting agreement with an entity controlled by Mr. Nolanadditional breadth in its lending platform and his family, pursuantenable the Bank to which Mr. Nolan agreedcontinue to serve as CEO of the division for three years after closingprudently grow its balance sheet and provide mutually agreeable consulting services thereafter, in consideration for a monthly fee of $26,041 plus incentive payments basedgenerate relatively attractive returns on certain performance metrics, for eight years after closing.its assets.

 

Pursuant to the terms of and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), the transaction provided for the payment to the members of Integra of (a) an amount of cash equal to (i) $2,458,777, subject to certain adjustments described in the Merger Agreement which totaled $739,521, and (b) 453,203 shares of the Company’s common stock.

COVID-19 Update

 

The Company continues to actively monitor developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic including the progress of COVID-19 vaccines, the emergence of the so-called Delta variant, the effects of the CARES Act and itsthe American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and the prospects for additional fiscal stimulus programs; however, the extent to which each will impact our operations and financial results in 2021 remains uncertain.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which was signed into law on December 27, 2020, allocated an additional $284 billion to the Company’s business, customers, employees, vendors,SBA to fund a second round of PPP and service providers. Throughextended the application period for the PPP to March 31, 2021. The application period was later extended to the earlier of May 31, 2021, or such date when all PPP funds are exhausted. The Company actively participated in the second quarterround of 2020, the most notable financial impactPPP and began submitting applications to the Company’s resultsSBA for borrowers on January 15, 2021 when the application window opened. The PPP was adjusted for the second round to allow applications from both first time borrowers and those that obtained loans during the first round of operationsthe PPP. The revised PPP, among other things, required that borrowers demonstrate or certify that they experienced a 25% or greater reduction in gross receipts from a quarter in 2020 compared to the same quarter in 2019 and certify that current economic uncertainty makes the loan request necessary to support their ongoing operations. The Bank funded 694 PPP loans, for $66.2 million related to the second round of PPP during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and as of June 30, 2021, the Bank had  $86.3 million of total outstanding PPP loans in its loan portfolio. Management believes that the majority of these PPP loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA or repaid in accordance with the terms of the PPP over the coming quarters.

While all industries could experience adverse effects related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the loan portfolio includes customers in industries such as dental, travel, hotel, leisure, retail, convenience store, restaurant and entertainment, which industries have all been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. While the Company has not experienced any material losses related to such industries in the portfolio, management recognizes that these industries may take longer to recover and continues to monitor these customers closely. The commercial credit area continues to communicate regularly with the borrowers and monitors their activity closely. This information is used to analyze the buildingperformance of these loans and to anticipate any potential issues that these loans may develop so that risk ratings may be appropriately adjusted in a timely manner. During the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company increased its allowance for loan losses primarilyfrom $2.2 million as of March 31, 2020 to $3.3 million as of June 30, 2021, due in part to the changes in the economic environment related to the disruption in business activity as a result of continued deterioration in macroeconomic variables such as unemployment, which are incorporated into our economic forecasts utilized to calculate our allowance for loan losses. See the section captioned “Allowance for Loan Losses” included elsewhere in this discussion for further analysis of the provision for loan losses.

In addition to the effect on our allowance for loan losses, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant and continuing decrease in commercial activity throughout the State of Texas as well as nationally, which has or may have the following impacts on the Company:

This decrease in commercial activity and disruption to economic activity generally may cause our customers and vendors, both businesses and individuals, to be unable to meet existing payment or other obligations to us, including service obligations.

The Company continues to work with customers impacted by the economic downturn, supporting requests for payment deferrals and extensions, provided such customers were not 30 days past due at December 31, 2019. We expect that our support of these borrowers, combined with the potential for further decreases in the value of the Company’s client assets under management and the possibility of sustained decreases in trading activity in certain of our brokerage business segments, will decrease our net interest income, and our advisory and brokerage revenues.

Under the CARES Act, as an SBA Preferred Lender, the Bank funded approximately 922 loans, for approximately $98.3 million in funding under the PPP.

The pandemic and resulting economic disruption continues to place pressure on consumers and create uncertainty, which has impacted the creditworthiness of potential and current borrowers. These adverse effects correlate with deteriorating economic conditions (such as the unemployment rate), which, in turn, are likely to negatively impact our borrowers' creditworthiness and therefore our ability to make loans in the future.

In response to the pandemic in an effort to protect the health of our customers and employees, the majority of the Company’s employees are working remotely to some extent. The Company continues to address the needs of a remote workforce with adjustments to its hardware and applications, including upgrades to its internal systems to alleviate difficulties working remotely in certain business segments.

The Company is also monitoring the activities of its vendors and other third-party service providers to mitigate risk associated with any potential service disruptions due to COVID-19 and its economic effects.

The Company continues to monitor and review the evolving risks and developments of the COVID-19 pandemic. The duration and scopeCompany recorded a provision of approximately $141,000 during the disruptions duethree months ended June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021, there were 2 loans in COVID-19-related deferment with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $3.2 million.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company for the periods covered by this Form 10-Q areis detailed in each applicable section of “Management's“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included below.

 

General

 

We are a financial holding company headquartered in Dallas, Texas. We provide a wide array of financial products and services including banking, trust, investment advisory, securities brokerage, third party administration, recordkeeping and insurance to individuals, small businesses and institutions in all 50 states.

 

The following discussion and analysis presents our consolidated financial condition as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, and our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019.2020. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes related thereto in this Form 10-Q and in the audited financial statements in our 2020 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2020.10-K.

 

On May 13, 2019, we completed a merger with Tectonic Holdings, through which we expanded our financial services to include investment advisory, securities brokerage and insurance services. Pursuant to the Tectonic Merger Agreement, dated March 28, 2019, by and between the Company and Tectonic Holdings, Tectonic Holdings merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving institution. Immediately after the completion of the Tectonic Merger, the Company completed a 1-for-2 reverse stock split with respect to the outstanding shares of its common stock. The computations of all share and per share amounts in this Form 10-Q have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the reverse stock split.

Following the Tectonic Merger, weWe operate through four main direct and indirect subsidiaries: (i) TBI,T Bancshares, Inc. (“TBI”), which was incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas on December 23, 2002 to serve as the bank holding company for T Bank, N.A. a national banking association (“the Bank,Bank”), (ii) Sanders Morris Harris LLC (“Sanders Morris”), a registered broker-dealer with FINRA,the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), and registered investment advisor with the SEC, (iii) Tectonic Advisors, LLC (“Tectonic Advisors”), a registered investment advisor registered with the SEC focused generally on managing money for relatively large, affiliated institutions, and (iv) HWG Insurance Agency LLC (“HWG”), an insurance agency registered with the TDI.Texas Department of Insurance (“TDI”).

 

In January 2019, the Bank acquired Nolan, a TPA based in Overland Park, Kansas. Founded in 1979, Nolan provides clients with retirement plan design and administrative services, specializing in ministerial recordkeeping, administration, actuarial and design services for retirement plans of small businesses and professional practices. The addition of TPA services allows us to serve our clients more fully and to attract new clients to our trust platform. Please see Note 18, Nolan Acquisition, to the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for more information.

The Company completed the underwritten initial public offering of its Series B preferred stock on May 14, 2019. In connection with the initial public offering, the Company issued and sold 1,725,000 shares of its Series B preferred stock, including 225,000 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, at an offering price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $17.25 million before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, and aggregate net proceeds of $15.5 million after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses.

Prior to the Tectonic Merger, Sanders Morris and Tectonic Advisors were wholly owned subsidiaries of Tectonic Holdings, which was under common control with the Company. The Tectonic Merger has been accounted for as a combination of businesses under common control in accordance with Topic 805. Under Topic 805, all the assets and liabilities of Tectonic Holdings are carried over to the books of the Company at their then current carrying amounts, and the consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the acquisition of Sanders Morris, HWG and Tectonic Advisors for all periods subsequent to the earliest date at which the entities were under common control, May 15, 2017. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

We prepare consolidated financial statements based on GAAPaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and to customary practices within the financial services industry. These policies, in certain areas, require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. While we base estimates on historical experience, current information and other factors deemed to be relevant, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

32

We consider accounting estimates to be critical to reported financial results if (i) the accounting estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time we make the accounting estimate and (ii) different estimates that management reasonably could have used for the accounting estimate in the current period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, could have a material impact on the financial statements.

Accounting policies related to the allowance for loan losses are considered to be critical as these policies involve considerable subjective judgment and estimation by management. Management has adopted a methodology to properly analyze and determine an adequate loan loss allowance, which includes allowance allocations calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, Receivables, and allowance allocations calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies. The analysis is based on sound, reliable and well documented information and is designed to support an allowance that is adequate to absorb all estimated incurred losses in our loan portfolio. Relevant available information includes historical credit loss experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. While historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses, adjustments to historical loss information may be made for differences in current portfolio-specific risk characteristics, environmental conditions or other relevant factors. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of our allowance accounts is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond our control, including the performance of our portfolios, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward classification of assets. Refer to the 2020 Form 10-K for additional information regarding critical accounting policies.

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”)GAAP and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, this Form 10-Q contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP, which includes return on average tangible common equity. We calculate return on average tangible common equity as net income available to common shareholders (net income less dividends paid on preferred stock) divided by average tangible common equity. We calculate average tangible common equity as average shareholders’ equity less average goodwill, average core deposit intangible and average preferred stock. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for tangible common equity is average total shareholders’ equity. We believe these non-GAAP measures and ratios, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and ratios, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. We believe investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP measures and ratios in assessing our operating results and related trends, and when planning and forecasting future periods. However, these non-GAAP measures and ratios should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or preferable to, measures and ratios prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2020,2021, annual return on average assets was 1.68%2.71%, compared to 2.71%1.68% for the same period in the prior year, and annual return on average tangible common equity was 29.23%38.24%, compared to 39.32%29.23% for the same period in the prior year.

The lowerhigher annual return ratios for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were primarily2021 was due to an increase in income which outpaced the increases in both average assets and average tangible common equity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.same period in the prior year. The growth in average tangible common equity between the two periods is primarily related to earnings, net of preferred dividends paid, from June 30, 20192020 to June 30, 2020.2021. The growth in average assets is primarily attributable to growth in average interest-bearing deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2020 to increase liquidity in anticipation of funding the PPP loans discussed under “COVID-19 Update” above.loans.

Total assets grew by $164.8$44.0 million, or 45.1%8.6%, to $529.9$557.4 million as of June 30, 20202021 from $365.1$513.4 million as of December 31, 2019.2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in ourof $36.0 million for interest-bearing deposits, $9.9 million for loans, net of allowance for loan losses, and $6.3 million for loans held for sale. The increases were offset by decreases of $102.6$2.8 million or 35.4%,for cash and due from banks, $3.0 million for securities held to $392.2maturity and $2.7 million as of June 30, 2020, from $289.7 million as of December 31, 2019, due primarily to loans originated under the SBA’s PPP program, and an increase in interest-bearing deposits at the Bank from purchases of certificates of deposit in the wholesale market.for other assets. Substantially all loans outside of those made under the SBA’s PPP program are secured by specific collateral, including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial real estate. We anticipate that as the majority of PPP loans are forgiven or paid off, which we believe will occur principally over the next 12six months, and as customers spend down their PPP funds, this will result in a reduction in both loans and deposits.borrowings.

Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30,, 2020 2021 and 20192020

 

Details of the changes in the various components of net income are discussed below.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans, investment securities, and interest-bearing cash, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume and spread, and are reflected in the net interest margin, as well as changes in average interest rates. Volume refers to the average dollar level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets, and is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

interest, including the deposit and loan rates offered by many financial institutions. The effective federal funds rate decreased 150 basis points during March 2020 (50 basis points on March 3, 2020 and 100 basis points on March 15, 2020) to zero to 0.25%, where it remained through June 30, 2021.

 

The following tables presentspresent the changes in net interest income and identifies the changes due to differences in the average volume of interest-earning assets and interest–bearing liabilities and the changes due to changes in the average interest rate on those assets and liabilities.  The changes in net interest income due to changes in both average volume and average interest rate have been allocated to the average volume change or the average interest rate change in proportion to the absolute amounts of the change in each.

Net interest income increased $279,000,$2.1 million, or 9.3%63.6%, from $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.2020 to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 4.11% and 2019 was 2.74% and 4.05%, a decreaserespectively, an increase of 131137 basis points. The increase in net interest income and margin was primarily due to the timing of recognition of PPP-related SBA fees. Other changes included an increase in the average volume of loans, anda decrease in average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, partly offset by a decrease in average yields on earning assets and increase in average volume of interest-bearing deposits which were replaced by non-interest-bearing deposits and Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”) borrowings.

 

The average volume of loansinterest-earning assets increased $117.3$41.5 million, or 45.2%8.7%, from $259.5$478.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 20192020 to $519.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The average volume of loans increased $59.2 million, or 15.7%, from $376.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and the average yield for loans decreased 165 basis points from 6.45%to $436.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 to2021. PPP loans accounted for $31.1 million of the average volume increase. The average yield for loans increased 71 basis points from 4.80% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.2020 to 5.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. In April 2020, we began originating loans to qualified small businesses under the PPP administered by the SBA under the provisions of the CARES Act. In 2020, we funded $98.3 million of PPP loans, account for $64.9all during the second quarter of 2020. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $75.6 million of the average volume increase.

Provision for Loan Losses

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the provision for loan losses totaled $141,000 and $569,000, respectively, compared to $475,000 and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Included in the provision for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $130,000, which represents the amount of reserve for loan loss required in excess of the discount balance on loans acquired, compared to $409,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. We determined a provision for loan losses that we consider sufficient to maintain an allowance to absorb probable losses inherent in our portfolio as of the balance sheet date.

For additional information concerning this determination, see the section captioned “Allowance for Loan Losses” elsewhere in this discussion.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the provision for loan losses totaled $475,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, compared to $400,000 and $483,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. See the section captioned “Allowance for Loan Losses” included elsewhere in this discussion for further analysis of the provision for loan losses.

Total non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $1.22021 increased $1.7 million, or 15.6%25.8%, and $275,000,$2.9 million, or 1.8%19.7%, compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively.year. Material changes in the various components of non-interest income are discussed below.

 

Trust Income. Trust income is earned for trust services on the value of managed and non-managed assets held in custody. Volatility in the bond and equity markets impacts the market value of trust assets and the related fees. Trust income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $54,000,2021 increased $336,000, or 4.3%28.1%, and increased $41,000,$500,000, or 1.7%20.2%, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively.year. The varianceincrease in the fee income between the periods is due to a decreasean increase in the average market value of the trust assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, combined with a slightly larger increase in the average market value2020. The expectation of the trust assets during the first quarter of 2020 compared with the same period in the prior year, which slightly offset the decrease in the second quarter. Thean economic disruption caused byrecovery from the COVID-19 pandemic has increased market values of trust assets over those experienced during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, when the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic were affecting expectations, causing extreme volatility which has resultedand decreasing fees during the three and six month periods in a decreasethe prior year.  Volatility related to an uneven recovery from the economic downturn and/or renewed fears of resurgent strains of the COVID-19 virus, including the emergence of the Delta variant, could result in future net decreases in the average values of our assets held in custody, which may be sustained and could materially worsen,and/or continued volatility in asset values, potentially decreasing our trust income.

 

Gain on sale of loans. Gain on sale of loans is generally gain on sales of the guaranteed portion of loans within our SBA loan portfolio. ThereGain on sale of loans increased $101,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year, when there was no gain on sale of loans, and decreased $331,000, or 76.6%, for the threesix months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.2021 compared to the same period in the prior year. Gain on sale of loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 was $432,000,$101,000, resulting from the sale of $6.2$1.1 million of SBA loans. There were no loan sales for the same period in the prior year.

 

Advisory income. Advisory fees are typically based on a percentage of the underlying average asset values for a given period, where each percentage point represents 100 basis points. These revenues are of a recurring nature, but are directly affected by increases and decreases in the values of the underlying assets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, advisory income decreased $155,000,increased $965,000, or 6.3%41.8%, and increased $137,000,$1.5 million, or 2.9%31.0%, compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively.year. The decreaseincrease in advisory income forbetween the three month periodtwo periods is due to a decreasean increase in the average market value of the advisory assets during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease during this three month period was slightly offset by an increase in advisory income during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year, which combined resulted in a net increase in advisory income for theand six months ended June 30, 20202021 as compared to the same periodperiods in the prior year. Similar to our trust income, any decreasechanges in the value of our assets under management will result in a comparable decreasechanges in our advisory income. The expectation of an economic disruption caused byrecovery from the COVID-19 pandemic has increased market values of our advisory assets, whereas the economic disruption caused by the start of the COVID-19 pandemic during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased market volatility which has resultedleading to lower advisory fees in a decreasethe same periods in the prior year. Volatility related to an uneven recovery from the economic downturn and/or renewed fears of resurgent strains of the COVID-19 virus, including the emergence of the Delta variant, could result in future net decreases in the average values of our advisory assets, under management, which may be sustained and could materially worsen,and/or continued volatility in asset values, potentially decreasing our advisory income.

 

Brokerage income. Brokerage revenues are generally based on a per share fee or commission to trade a share of a particular stock, bond or other security. In addition, brokerage revenues, in this context, include private placements, participation in syndication of public offerings, and certain other brokerage revenues, including interest earned on margin lending. Brokerage revenue is dependent on the volume of trading, and on private placement and syndication activity during the period.period, and in the case of margin lending, on interest rates. Brokerage income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $1.1 million,2021 increased $105,000, or 38.1%5.9%, and $1.1 million,$499,000, or 22.1%12.9%, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The economic disruption related to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic slowing of activity that began late in the first quarter 2020 and continued throughout the remainder of the year.  This led to delays in the timing of private placements and syndicated public offerings, on which margins have historically been higher. Thisalong with volatility in the volume of general trading activity. Private offering and syndicated public offering activity may face a prolonged recovery, materiallyand in the event of economic volatility related to an uneven recovery or concerns over new strains of the COVID-19 virus, including the emergence of the Delta variant, the recovery in trading activity may stall, potentially decreasing brokerage income. During the first quarter 2020, this effect was offset by a temporary increase in certain segments of trading activity which are typically done at lower margins. This increase was not sustained into the second quarter.income overall.

Service fees and other income. Service fees includes fees for deposit-related services, loan servicing, and third partythird-party administration fees. Service fees and other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 increased $126,000,$186,000, or 11.5%15.2%, and $225,000,$755,000, or 8.2%25.5%, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year. This isThese increases are primarily the result of increases in third party administration fees of $203,000 and $662,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 over the same periods in the prior year.  The increase in third-party administration fees was in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting lag in information from plan sponsors to complete annual plan administration work related to the shutdown of dental practices nationwide, which began in March 2020, whereas during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, information was received timely and therefore, a larger percentage of plan administration work was able to be completed earlier; this effect was more pronounced during the first quarter 2021.  Loan and other bank servicing fees decreased $48,000 and increased $110,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, over the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to the amortization of the remaining servicing asset valuation allowance on loans repaid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 of $45,000 and $70,000, respectively. In addition, other income increased $30,000 and decreased $16,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 related to variances in income distributions from an interest in securities not readily marketable which decreased $22,000 and increased $63,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, and an increase in consulting fees earned at Sanders Morris of $34,000 and $56,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and a decrease in other income of approximately $124,000 related to a non-recurring extinguishment of a retirement liability during the first quarter of 2020, and immaterial fluctuations in miscellaneous income netting to an increase of $20,000 and a decrease of $11,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and bad debt expense recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2019, partially offset by a decrease in third party administration fees. The decrease in third party administration fees is due to a lag in information from plan sponsors to complete annual plan administration work. The vast majority of Nolan’s plan administration clients are dental practices. Nolan believes that the timing lag is at least partially related to the shutdown of dental practices nationwide during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company expects that there will be a lag in the timing of the completion of plan administration for 2020 compared to 2019, which would impact the timing of revenue recognition for third party administration fees compared to the corresponding periods in 2019, although the timing lag recovered somewhat during the three months ended June 30, 2020.2021, respectively.

 

Rental income. The Company receives monthly rental income from tenants leasing space in the Bank building. Rental income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $24,000,2021 increased $31,000, or 29.6%54.4% and $28,000 or 18.9%, and $15,000, or 9.2%,respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year,year. The increase was primarily due to a new tenant moving into vacant space during the granting of rent abatements and one tenant’s lease reaching the end of its term and subsequent nonrewal.second quarter 2021.

Material changes in the various components of non-interest income are discussed below.

 

Salaries and employee benefits. Salaries and employee benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $820,000,2021 increased $1.7 million, or 16.8%43.0%, and decreased $299,000,$2.6 million, or 3.2%29.1%, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decreasesincreases were primarily due to decreasesannual merit increases, increases in bonuses, and related payroll taxes at our Banking segment, in addition to annual merit increases and increases in commissions earnouts and incentive bonuses and payroll taxes in our Other Financial Services segment.  In addition, stock compensation expense increased in our HoldCo segment, and our health insurance costs increase across the Company, compared to the same periods in the prior year.  In our Banking segment, $1.1 million and $1.2 million of $496,000 and $155,000 within our other financial services segmentthe increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, respectively, primarily related to decreasesmerit increases in salaries and an increase in headcount in the Bank’s SBA lending division and elsewhere related to overall growth in the Bank.  In our Other Financial Services segment, $162,000 and $386,000 of the increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, related to merit increases in salaries and an increase in headcount related to growth in The Nolan Company (“Nolan”), operating as a division within the Bank, which provides third party administration (“TPA”) services, and $215,000 and $272,000 related to salary increases at Sanders Morris. In addition, there was a net increase in earnouts and incentive bonuses at Sanders Morris related to increases in brokerage commission activity including private placement activity, at Sanders Morris,of $158,000 and $250,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in the prior year, during which the COVID-19 pandemic had begun to suppress private placements and decreasessyndicated offerings, as well as certain trading activity on which Sanders Morris earns higher margins, which recovered somewhat during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. These increases at Sanders Morris were partially offset by a decrease in salariescertain incentive bonuses at Sanders Morris.  Stock compensation expense increased by $58,000 and employee benefits in our Banking segment of $408,000 and $317,000$118,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, respectively, resulting from recording a portion of fees received from the SBA as an offset to employee costs related to origination of PPP loans, partly offset by annual merit increases and increase in staff. These decreases were partiallystock grants made on September 30, 2020, offset by a changedecrease in expense related to options granted, and bonus expense in our Holdco segment decreased $12,500 and increased $25,000, respectively, related to variations in bonus accrued compared to the mannersame periods in the prior year. Increases in health insurance expense led increased benefit costs across the Company, which our chief executive officer was paid, which increase was entirely offsetincreased by a reduction$74,000 and $121,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in management fees noted below under other expense (resulting in no additional amount being paid to our chief executive officer).the prior year.

At origination, the Company determines whether holding the guaranteed portion of SBA 7(a) and USDA loans provide better long-term risk adjusted returns than selling the loans, and records as either held for investment or held for sale. The Company records held for sale loans at the lower of cost or fair value. Loans held for sale totaled $11.6$21.1 million and $9.9$14.9 million at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. DuringFor the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, the Company elected to reclassify $5.8$6.2 million and $7.5$15.1 million, respectively, of the SBA 7(a) loans held for sale to held for investment.

 

Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. As of June 30, 2020,2021, our loan portfolio included $72.4$70.7 million of loans, approximately 18.3%17.2% of our total funded loans (24.4% of total funded loans, net of the(21.8% excluding PPP loans), to the dental industry, compared to $69.2$67.2 million, or 23.8%16.8% (21.1% excluding PPP loans), of total funded loans, as of December 31, 2019.2020. We believe that these loans are to credit worthy borrowers and are diversified geographically.

 

Paycheck Protection Program

 

In April 2020, we began originating loans to qualified small businesses under the PPP administered by the SBA under the provisions of the CARES Act. Loans covered by the PPP may be eligible for loan forgiveness for certain costs incurred related to payroll, group health care benefit costs and qualifying mortgage, rent and utility payments. The remaining loan balance after forgiveness of any amounts is still fully guaranteed by the SBA. Terms of the PPP loans include the following (i) maximum amount limited to the lesser of $10 million or an amount calculated using a payroll-based formula, (ii) maximum loan term of two or five years, depending on the date of origination, (iii) interest rate of 1.00%, (iv) no collateral or personal guarantees are required, (v) no payments are required for six months following the loan disbursement date and (vi) loan forgiveness up to the full principal amount of the loan and any accrued interest, subject to certain requirements including that no more than 40% of the loan forgiveness amount may be attributable to non-payroll costs. In return for processing and booking the loan, the SBA will pay the lender a processing fee tiered by the size of the loan (5% for loans of not more than $350 thousand; 3% for loans more than $350 thousand and less than $2 million; and 1% for loans of at least $2 million). During the threeyear ended December 31, 2020, we funded $98.3 million of PPP loans. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $75.6 million of the PPP loans originated in 2020 have been forgiven by the SBA and were paid off or repaid by the borrower, leaving an outstanding balance of $22.7 million as of June 30, 2021. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which was signed into law on December 27, 2020, allocated an additional $284 billion to the SBA to fund a second round of PPP and extended the application period for the PPP to March 31, 2021. The PPP application period was later extended to the earlier of May 31, 2021, or such date when all PPP funds are exhausted. During the six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, we originated $98.3$66.2 million of PPP loans, and received $4.4loans. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $2.6 million of relatedthe PPP loans originated in 2021 have been forgiven by the SBA and were paid off or repaid by the borrower, leaving an outstanding balance of $63.6 million as of June 30, 2021. Total outstanding PPP loans was $86.3 at June 30, 2021. We received $3.4 million of PPP-related fees from the SBA.SBA for the loans originated during 2021. We deferred $3.4$3.3 million of the PPP-related SBA fees, net of $966,000$99,000 which represented costs incurred to originate these PPP loans.

We are also participating in the PPPLF which, through SeptemberJune 30, 2020, will extend2021, extended loans to banks who are loaning money to small businesses under the PPP. The total amount borrowed under the PPPLF as of June 30, 20202021 was $33.9$87.6 million and is non-recourse and secured by an equal amount of the PPP loans we originated. The maturity date of a borrowing under the PPPLF is equal to the maturity date of the PPP loan pledged to secure the borrowing and would be accelerated (i) if the underlying PPP loan goes into default and is sold to the SBA to realize on the SBA guarantee or (ii) to the extent that any loan forgiveness reimbursement is received from the SBA. Borrowings under the PPPLF will bear interest at a rate of 0.35%. In addition, we may exclude all PPP loans pledged as collateral to the PPP Facility from our average total consolidated assets for the purposes of calculating our leverage ratio.

Scheduled contractual principal repayments of loans do not reflect the actual life of such assets. The average life of loans is less than their average contractual terms due to prepayments.

 

Loans acquired in acquisitions are initially recorded at fair value with no carryover of the related allowance for credit losses. The fair value of the loans is determined using market participant assumptions in estimating the amount and timing of principal and interest cash flows initially expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at an appropriate market rate of interest.

 

Under the accounting model for acquired loans, the excess of cash flows expected to be collected over the carrying amount of the loans, referred to as the “accretable yield,” is accreted into interest income over the life of the loans.

While we have instituted underwriting guidelines and policies and credit review procedures to protect us from avoidable credit losses, some losses will inevitably occur. The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to an increased risk of delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures. We currently expect that a significant number and amountThrough the date of our loans may experience ratings downgrades, credit deterioration and potential defaults in many industries.this filing, the Company has not experienced any loan charge-offs caused by the economic impact from COVID-19.

As of June 30, 2020,2021, non-performing assets consisted of SBA non-accrual loans totaling $1.7$3.6 million, of which $1.1$2.5 million was guaranteed by the SBA, and commercial real estate non-accrual loans totaling $163,000.$154,000. As of December 31, 2019,2020, non-performing assets consisted of SBA non-accrual loans totaling $5.9$1.6 million, of which $4.9$1.1 million was guaranteed by the SBA, and commercial and industrial non-accrual loans totaling $60,000.$158,000. There were no foreclosed assets as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.

 

Loans are considered past due when principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments are contractually due. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when management has concerns relating to the ability to collect the loan interest and generally when such loans are 90 days or more past due. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that not all principal and interest amounts will be collected according to the original loan contract. There were no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

Foreclosed assets represent property acquired as the result of borrower defaults on loans. Foreclosed assets are recorded at estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs, at the time of foreclosure. Write-downs occurring at foreclosure are charged against the allowance for possible loan losses. On an ongoing basis, properties are appraised as required by market indications and applicable regulations. Write-downs are provided for subsequent declines in value and are included in other non-interest expense along with other expenses related to maintaining the properties. There were no foreclosed assets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Restructured loans are considered “troubled debt restructurings” if, due to the borrower’s financial difficulties, we have granted a concession that we would not otherwise consider. This may include a transfer of real estate or other assets from the borrower, a modification of loan terms, or a combination of the two. Modifications of terms that could potentially qualify as a troubled debt restructuring include reduction of contractual interest rate, extension of the maturity date at a contractual interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, or a reduction of the face amount of debt, either forgiveness of principal or accrued interest. As of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, we had no loans considered to be a troubled debt restructuring.  

 

As noted in Note 4, "Loans3, “Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses," Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, provides financial institutions the option to suspend TDRtroubled debt restructuring accounting under GAAP in certain circumstances and the Company has elected that option. The Company has worked proactively with customers experiencing financial challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2020,2021, the Company had granted principal and interest payment deferrals related to COVID-19 to 139 borrowers representing approximately $92.8two loans totaling $3.2 million of its outstanding loans. As of July 31, 2020, the number of modifications decreased to 12 loans with a total outstanding balance of $13.6 million. All loans remain accruing.that were in COVID-19-related deferment.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

 

The allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) is a valuation allowance for credit losses in the loan portfolio. Management has adopted a methodology to properly analyze and determine an adequate loan loss allowance, which includes allowance allocations calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310, Receivables, and allowance allocations calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies. The analysis is based on sound, reliable and well documented information and is designed to support an allowance that is adequate to absorb all estimated incurred losses in our loan portfolio.

 

In estimating the specific and general exposure to loss on impaired loans, we have considered a number of factors, including the borrower’s character, overall financial condition, resources and payment record, the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors, and the realizable value of any collateral.

 

We also consider other internal and external factors when determining the allowance for loan losses, which include, but are not limited to, changes in national and local economic conditions, loan portfolio concentrations, and trends in the loan portfolio. Given the level of economic disruption and uncertainty within the State of Texas and the nation as a whole, arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and volatility, the Company qualitatively adjusted the analysis for the allowance for loan losses for these and other risk factors as discussed in the section captioned “COVID-19 Update” in Part I, Item 2, of this Form 10-Q, and in Part II, Item 1.A. “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q and in our 2019the 2020 Form 10-K. Based on an analysis performed by management at June 30, 2020,2021, the allowance for loan losses is believed to be adequate to cover estimated loan losses in the portfolio as of that date based on the loan loss methodology employed by management. However, management’s judgment is based upon a number of assumptions about future events, which are believed to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove valid. Thus, charge-offs in future periods may exceed the allowance for loan losses or significant additional increases in the allowance for loan losses may be required.

 

Senior management and the Directors’ Loan Committee review this calculation and the underlying assumptions on a routine basis not less frequently than quarterly.

 

The allowance for loan losses totaled $2.5$3.3 million and $1.4$2.9 million, as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, the Company had netone SBA charge-off of $215,000 and recoveries of $12,000. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, there were no charge-offs and recoveries of $148,000 and $123,000, respectively.$8,000.

Sources of Funds

 

General

 

Deposits, loan and investment security repayments and prepayments, proceeds from the sale of securities, and cash flows generated from operations are the primary sources of our funds for lending, investing, and other general purposes. Loan repayments are generally a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows tend to fluctuate with prevailing interests rates, markets and economic conditions, and competition.

 

Deposits

 

Deposits are attracted principally from our primary geographic market area with the exception of time deposits, which, due to the Company’s attractive rates, are attracted from across the nation. The Company offers a broad selection of deposit products, including demand deposit accounts, NOW accounts, money market accounts, regular savings accounts, term certificates of deposit and retirement savings plans (such as IRAs). Deposit account terms vary, with the primary differences being the minimum balance required, the time period the funds must remain on deposit, and the associated interest rates. Management sets the deposit interest rates periodically based on a review of deposit flows and a survey of rates among competitors and other financial institutions. The Company relies primarily on customer service and long-standing relationships with customers to attract and retain deposits; however,deposits, and also on CD listing services. During the second quarter of 2020, we received $40.0 million in brokered deposits through an Insured Cash Sweep One-Way Buy agreement to provide liquidity to fund PPP loan originations. This brokered deposit is included in our money market interest rates and rates offered by competing financial institutions significantly affect the Company’s ability to attract and retain deposits.accounts as of June 30, 2021.

 

Total deposits increased $139.2$36.0 million, or 49.1%10.3%, to $422.8$384.0 million as of June 30, 2020,2021, as compared to $283.6$348.0 million as of December 31, 2019.2020. The following table sets forth our average deposit account balances, the percentage of each type of deposit to total deposits, and average cost of funds for each category of deposits for the periods indicated:

Together with the Bank, the Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s and, accordingly, the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. As of June 30, 2020,2021, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject. As of June 30, 2020,2021, the Bank qualified as "well capitalized"“well capitalized” under the prompt corrective action regulations of Basel III and the OCC.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), common equity Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to average assets (as defined in the regulations).

Liquidity

 

Our liquidity relates to our ability to maintain a steady flow of funds to support our ongoing operating, investing and financing activities. Our board of directors establishes policies and analyzes and manages liquidity to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet normal operating requirements in addition to unexpected customer demands for funds, such as high levels of deposit withdrawals or loan demand, in a timely and cost-effective manner. The most important factor in the preservation of liquidity is maintaining public confidence that facilitates the retention and growth of a large, stable supply of core deposits and funds. Ultimately, public confidence is generated through profitable operations, sound credit quality and a strong capital position. Liquidity management is viewed from a long-term and a short-term perspective as well as from an asset and liability perspective. We monitor liquidity through a regular review of loan and deposit maturities and forecasts, incorporating this information into a detailed projected cash flow model.

 

The Bank’s liquidity is monitored by its management, the Asset-Liability Committee and its board of directors who review historical funding requirements, current liquidity position, sources and stability of funding, marketability of assets, options for attracting additional funds, and anticipated future funding needs, including the level of unfunded commitments.

 

The Company’s primary sources of funds are retail, small business, custodial, wholesale commercial deposits, loan repayments, maturity of investment securities, other short-term borrowings, and other funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and loan prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions, and competition. The Company will maintain investments in liquid assets based upon management’s assessment of (1) the need for funds, (2) expected deposit flows, (3) yields available on short-term liquid assets, and (4) objectives of the asset/liability management program.

 

As of June 30, 2020,2021 the Company had approximately $75.0$74.6 million held in an interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve. The Company has the ability to borrow funds as members of the FHLB and the FRB. As of June 30, 2020,2021, the Company’s borrowing capacity with the FHLB was $38.5$49.7 million based upon loan collateral pledged to the FHLB, of which none was utilized. In addition, the Company had $12.2$17.6 million of unpledged securities that could be pledged to the FHLB as collateral to increase the borrowing capacity. The borrowing capacity with the FRB was $30.3$25.0 million, of which none was utilized as of June 30, 2020.2021. In addition, the Company has approximately $70.6$89.8 million of SBA guaranteed loans held for investment that could be sold to investors. In connection with the FRB PPPLF program, the Company has $64.4 million of PPP loans available which can be pledged for additional borrowing capacity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying balance sheets. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We follow the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.

 

51

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of credit extended is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer and, if deemed necessary, may require collateral.

 

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.

 

As of June 30, 2020,2021, we had commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit of approximately $27.3$23.2 million and $172,000,$207,000, respectively.

 

Item3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk

 

As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Our asset liability management policy provides management with guidelines for effective funds management and we have established a measurement system for monitoring the net interest rate sensitivity position.

 

Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which have a short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income.

 

We manage exposure to interest rates by structuring the balance sheet in the ordinary course of business. We use no off-balance-sheet financial instruments to manage interest rate risk.

 

Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Bank’s Asset Liability Committee in accordance with policies approved by the Bank’s board of directors. The committee formulates strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the committee considers the impact on earnings and capital of the current outlook on interest rates, potential changes in interest rates, liquidity, business strategies and other factors.

 

The committee meets regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activities, commitments to originate loans and the maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, the committee reviews liquidity, cash flow flexibility, maturities of deposits and consumer and commercial deposit activity. We employ methodologies to manage interest rate risk which include an analysis of relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and an interest rate shock simulation model.

 

We use interest rate risk simulation models and shock analysis to test the interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and fair value of equity, and the impact of changes in interest rates on other financial metrics. The assumptions used are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies.

 

54

On a semi-annualat least an annual basis, we run various stress tests to measure the impact on net interest income and fair value of equity from changes in market interest rates under various scenarios. Under the static model, rates are shocked instantaneously, and ramped rates change over a twelve-month and twenty-four month horizon based upon parallel yield curve shifts. Parallel shock scenarios assume instantaneous parallel movements in the yield curve compared to a flat yield curve scenario. Additionally, we run non-parallel simulation involving analysis of interest income and expense under various changes in the shape of the yield curve.

 

52

The following table summarizes the impact of an instantaneous, sustained simulated change in net interest income over a 12-month horizon as of June 30, 2020:2021:

We have found that, historically, interest rates on deposits change more slowly than changes in the discount and federal funds rates. This assumption is incorporated into the simulation model and is generally not fully reflected in a gap analysis, meaning that process by which we measure the gap between interest rate sensitive assets verses interest rate sensitive liabilities. The assumptions incorporated into the model are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various strategies.

 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has participated in the PPP loan program under the CARES Act. The Company originated $98.3 million of PPP loans during the three months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, total deposits increased by $75.9 million and borrowings increased by $33.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This has increased the Company’s deposit at the Federal Reserve by $8.8 million from $66.2 million at March 31, 2020 to $75.0 million at June 30, 2020. For the Company’s gap analysis, the PPP loans fell into the 3-12 months and 1-3 year time periods due to maturities and prepayment factors applied to PPP loans. The outflow of PPP funds from the Bank has been partially offset by inflows of non-interest-bearing deposits. This has caused an uneven shift in the sensitivity of the repricing gap between short-term assets and liabilities. Although PPP loans have maturities of two years, a large percentage of these loans are anticipated to receive SBA forgiveness and be repaid in advance of stated maturities. The Company believes the repricing gap would have been more in line with historical experiences had it not been for the funding of the PPP loans. The Company feels that funding these loans was both beneficial and necessary for our customers in light of the current economic environment and believes the one-year repricing gap increase is temporary in nature.

Impact of Inflation

 

Our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative value of money over time due to inflation or recession. Inflation generally increases the costs of funds and operating overhead, and to the extent loans and other assets bear variable rates, the yields on such assets. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant effect on the performance of a financial institution than the effects of general levels of inflation. In addition, inflation affects a financial institution’s cost of goods and services purchased, the cost of salaries and benefits, occupancy expense and similar items. Inflation and related increases in interest rates generally decrease the market value of investments and loans held and may adversely affect liquidity, earnings and shareholders’ equity.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed by the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective at the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 20202021 that has materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

We are involved, from time to time, as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of its business. Based on the information presently available, management believes that the ultimate outcome in such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the business’s financial condition or results of operations of the Company on a consolidated basis.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

The following represents aThere have been no material changechanges in the Company’s risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, to the extent that any of the information contained in this Form 10-Q constitutes forward-looking statements, the risk factors set forth below also are cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us.

The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting the Company and its customers, counterparties, employees, and third-party service providers, and the continued adverse impacts on its business, financial position, results of operations, and prospects could be significant.

The spread of COVID-19 has created a global public-health crisis that has resulted in widespread volatility and deteriorations in household, business, economic, and market conditions. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s capital, liquidity, and other financial positions and on its business, results of operations, and prospects will depend on a number of evolving factors, including:

The duration, extent, and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 does not yet appear to be contained and could affect significantly more households and businesses. The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be impossible to accurately predict.

The response of governmental and nongovernmental authorities. The actions of many governmental and nongovernmental authorities have been directed toward curtailing household and business activity to contain COVID-19 while simultaneously deploying fiscal- and monetary-policy measures to partially mitigate the adverse effects on individual households and businesses. These actions are not always coordinated or consistent across jurisdictions but, in general, have been rapidly expanding in scope and intensity.

The effect on the Company’s customers, counterparties, employees, and third-party service providers. COVID-19 and its associated consequences and uncertainties may affect individuals, households, and businesses differently and unevenly. In the near-term if not longer, however, the Company’s credit, operational, and other risks are generally expected to increase.

The effect on economies and markets. Whether the actions of governmental and nongovernmental authorities will be successful in mitigating the adverse effects of COVID-19 is unclear. National, regional, and local economies and markets could suffer disruptions that are lasting. An economic slowdown could adversely affect the Company’s origination of new loans and the performance of its existing loans. In addition, governmental actions are meaningfully influencing the interest-rate environment, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

We are unable to estimate the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and operations at this time. The COVID-19 pandemic could cause the Company to experience higher credit losses in our lending portfolio, impairment of our goodwill and other financial assets, further reduced demand for its products and services, and other negative impacts on its financial position, results of operations, and prospects. Sustained adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may also prevent the Company from satisfying our minimum regulatory capital ratios and other supervisory requirements, failing to be able to sustain the paying of dividends to its shareholders, or result in downgrades in its credit ratings.  

57

The increased reliance on technology by the Company, its employees and third party vendors during the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect its operations.

Current and future restrictions on the Company’s workforce’s access to its facilities could limit its ability to meet customer servicing expectations and have a material adverse effect on its operations. The Company relies on business processes and branch activity that largely depend on people, technology, and the use of complex systems and models to manage its business, including access to information technology systems and models as well as information, applications, payment systems and other services provided by third parties. In response to COVID-19, the Company has modified its business practices and granted access to its employees to work remotely from their homes in order to have the Company’s operations uninterrupted as much as possible. Further, technology in employees’ homes may not be as robust as in the Company’s offices and could cause the networks, information systems, applications, and other tools available to employees to be more limited or less reliable than in its offices, the continuation of these work-from-home measures introduces additional operational risk, especially including increased cybersecurity risk. These cyber risks include greater phishing, malware, and other cybersecurity attacks, vulnerability to disruptionsdisclosed under Item 1A., “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s information technology infrastructure and telecommunications systems for remote operations, increased risk of unauthorized dissemination of confidential information, limited ability to restore the systems in the event of a systems failure or interruption, great risk of a security breach resulting in destruction or misuse of valuable information, and potential impairment of its ability to perform critical functions, including wiring funds, all of which could expose the Company to risks of data or financial loss, litigation and liability and could seriously disrupt its operations and the operations of any impacted customers.

Moreover, the Company relies on many third parties in its business operations, including the appraiser of the real property collateral, vendors that supply essential services such as loan servicers, providers of financial information, systems and analytical tools and providers of electronic payment and settlement systems, and local and federal government agencies, offices, and courthouses. In light of the developing measures responding to the pandemic, many of these entities may limit the availability and access of their services. For example, loan origination could be delayed due to the limited availability of real estate appraisers for the collateral. Loan closings could be delayed related to reductions in available staff in recording offices or the closing of courthouses in certain counties, which slows the process for title work, mortgage and Uniform Commercial Code filings in those counties. If the third-party service providers continue to have limited capacities for a prolonged period or if additional limitations or potential disruptions in these services materialize, it may negatively affect the Company’s operations.

Changes in market interest rates or capital markets, including volatility resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, could affect our revenues and expenses, the value of assets and obligations, and the availability and cost of capital or liquidity.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the financial markets and has resulted in a number of Federal Reserve actions. Market interest rates have declined significantly. On March 3, 2020 the 10-year Treasury yield fell below 1.00% for the first time, and the Federal Reserve reduced the target federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 1.00% to 1.25%. On March 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve further reduced the target federal funds rate by 100 basis points to 0.00% to 0.25% and announced a $700 billion quantitative easing program in response to the expected economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Federal Reserve reduced the interest that it pays on excess reserves from 1.60% to 1.10% on March 3, 2020, and then to 0.10% on March 15, 2020. We expect that these reductions in interest rates, especially if prolonged, could adversely affect our net interest income and margins and our profitability.Form 10-K.

Given our business mix, and the fact that most of our assets and liabilities are financial in nature, we tend to be sensitive to market interest rate movements and the performance of the financial markets. Our primary source of income is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income generated by our interest-earning assets (consisting primarily of loans and, to a lesser extent, securities) and the interest expense generated by our interest-bearing liabilities. Prevailing economic conditions, fiscal and monetary policies and the policies of various regulatory agencies all affect market rates of interest and the availability and cost of credit, which, in turn, significantly affect financial institutions’ net interest income. If the interest we pay on deposits and other borrowings increases at a faster rate than increases in the interest we receive on loans and investments, net interest income, and, therefore, our earnings, could be affected. Earnings could also be affected if the interest we receive on loans and other investments falls more quickly than the interest we pay on deposits and other borrowings.

 

58

In addition to the general impact of the economy, changes in interest rates or in valuations in the debt or equity markets could directly impact us in one or more of the following ways:

•     the yield on earning assets and rates paid on interest bearing liabilities may change in disproportionate ways;

•     the value of certain balance sheet and off-balance sheet financial instruments or the value of equity investments that we hold could decline;

•     the value of assets for which we provide processing services could decline;

•     the demand for loans and refinancings may decline, which could negatively impact income related to loan originations; or

•     to the extent we access capital markets to raise funds to support our business, such changes could affect the cost of such funds or the ability to raise such funds.

Declining values of real estate, increases in unemployment, and the related effects on local economies, including impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic, may increase our credit losses, which would negatively affect our financial results.

We offer a variety of secured loans, including commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, home equity, consumer installment and other loans. Many of our loans are secured by real estate (both residential and commercial) within our market area. A major change in the real estate market, such as deterioration in the value of collateral, or in the local or national economy, could affect our customers’ ability to pay these loans, resulting in loan defaults and the possible impairments in the value of our collateral, which in turn could impact our results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, increases in unemployment also may affect the ability of certain clients to repay loans and the financial results of commercial clients in localities with higher unemployment, may result in loan defaults and foreclosures and may impair the value of our collateral. We cannot fully eliminate credit risk, and as a result, credit losses may increase in the future. The extent of such impact cannot be determined at this time and may be muted by the Bank’s implementation of hardship relief programs that include payment deferral and short-term funding options.

The Bank’s participation in the PPP may result in operational, credit or other shortfalls that may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, President Trump signed into law the CARES Act on March 27, 2020. Among other things, the CARES Act created a new facility, titled the “Paycheck Protection Program,” to the SBA’s 7(a) Loan Program. The small business loans are provided through participating financial institutions, such as the Bank, that process loan applications and service the loans. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we funded 922 loans totaling $98.3 million in of PPP loans. Due to the accelerated implementation of the PPP, the Bank, like other financial institutions, has funded loans under the PPP as the SBA and U.S. Department of Treasury release guidance, nearly daily, on the operational and logistical functions of the program. There are several aspects of the PPP that have not yet been addressed by the SBA or U.S. Department of Treasury, including how forgiveness on loans under the program will be calculated. We cannot predict what operational, credit, or other shortfalls may arise as a result of the Bank making loans under the PPP or how such shortfalls may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and future prospects. Moreover, every PPP borrower is in a challenging financial position that may negatively impact their ability to repay if the loans are not subject to forgiveness. The borrowers may not be able to repay the loans when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides and they may not maintain the level of employees and salary levels required for forgiveness. If the borrowers are unable to repay their loans or the federal government does not pay timely the amounts that it would owe the Bank pursuant to the terms of the loans, the guarantees and the PPP, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
